Six Publishers In The Top 100 For February 2013, But Vibe And Katana Fail To Perform

Here are the top 100 comics for March 2013. While DC have made inroads into the top ten, their dropping marketshare can be seen in Marvel dominating the rest of the top and middle ground. The relatively poor performance of Vibe and Katana, both launching this month and given considerable publicity, tie-ins and promotional incentives for retailers to order high, does not bode well for their future. And two My Little Pony comics in the top 100 may help explain IDW’s jump in marketshare this month. Also, Walking Dead continues to embeds itself in the top twenty now.

There are other notable appearances from Star Wars, Hellboy, Aspen’s Legend Of The Shadowclan, Buffy, Happy, Saga, Walking Dead Governor’s Special and Adventure Time, possibly the most non-Marvel-DC action the Top 100 has had in quite some time.
